2 SHEETS-SHEET 2.
HARRIETTE BROWN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
STOVE-SHIELD.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed September 8, 1914. Serial No. 860,518.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it lmown that I, HARRIETTE a citizen of the United States, Chicago,
M. BROWN, residing at in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful 1 Improvement -in' Stove-Shields, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to shields for stoves,
lights, and similar devices, which are intended to be used in the open air, or where there is liable to be an interference with the flame by drafts or other atmospheric effects; and the principal object of this improvement is to provide a simple and efficient shield or inclosure for stoves, lights, etc., and more particularly for that class of such devices as are used by camping or outing parties.
A. further object of the invention is to provide a device of the character mentioned, which may be easily and quickly set up for use, or as readily folded into compact form for transportation or storage, and which will, at the same time, be economical in construction.
The invention consists in substantially the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, but more particularly set forth in the claims.
Like figures refer to the same parts in the several figures of the drawing in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a stove shield set up for use, embodying one form of my invention; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the shield knocked down and folded in compact form, but with the walls being slightly separated so as to clearly show them; Fig. 3 is a central vertical section of the shield but with the cooking utensil and stove in side elevation; Fig. 4 is an enlarged sectional detail view, illustrating a specific form of fastener, locking the doors in closed position; Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail view, illustrating a specific form of hinge used in fastening the walls together; Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail section of a corner of the shield, with the cover in place, and showing a fastening device for securing the cover on the walls, and for attaching the guys to the cover, and to the walls.
In a stove for camping or outing purposes, and particularly for use in connection with automobile trips, difiiculty has been experienced in keeping the flame at its maximum intensity, and with proper direction for the purpose intended, and the present invention pertains to providing a shield capable of protecting the flame of the device, so as to conserve the heat, or light, as the case may be, and secure the proper direction of the flame to most efficiently perform its work, notwithstanding any atmospheric disturbances, such as wind or rain, or what not, and at the same time, construct a device which is simple, economical, and capable of being folded into a compact space, with but little effort. It is evident,
Patented Apr. 4, 1916.
therefore, that a shield for such purposes must surround the device, and that means must be provided for securing it in firm position for operation, but at the same time capable of being readily knocked down, and folded into compact space. With this end, the present construction comprises, gener ally speaking, four sides, hinged together at their edges, of which three are composed preferably of solid plates of material, and the fourth may be likewise of solid plate, but preferably two horizontal sections, constitutinga horizontally divided door, either the top or bottom section of which may be opened, to observe theprogress of the cook: ing, or to manipulate the vessel, or the food in the vessel, as may be desired. In either event, that is, whether the door is composed of a solid plate, or of two sections, there should be an opening, through which the handle of the vessel may protrude, so that it may be operated from the exterior. While it has been found that a shield of four sides, although uncovered, will, under ordinary conditions, perfom its work properly, yet under some conditions as to direction of wind or storm, it is preferable to provide this shield with a cover, so as to insure complete protection The side plates of the shield, and the cover, may be made of any suitable material capable of resisting the action of the heat, such, for instance, as asbestos, tin, etc., but it has been found in practice, thus far, that a tin plate of the proper size can be most economically out out and can be strengthened and smoothed at its edges, by having its edges rolled around a wire, as shown in the drawings.
The preferred form of construction comprises three similar walls, designated by the reference figure 7, and connected together at their adjacent vertical edges by hinges 8, and a fourth wall, made up of two sections, 9 and 19,, one arranged above the other,
and both connected to one of the walls by hinges S, and cut away near the horizontal center, and to provide an opening through which the handle of the cooking vessel may extend, or through which the interior may be reached. In the present instance, the opening is made partly in each horizontal section of the door by an off-set at the right central portion thereof. As stated, the hinges may be of any desired form and shape, but it has been found convenient in practice to make them of a piece of wire bent into circular form, loosely mounted in a perforation 12, in one of the walls, which may or may not be secured at their ends, as desired. The hinges are designated by the reference figure 8, and are shown as two in number on each side of the solid wall, and of course the number may be varied, as found necessary, and in the sectional door, there are two provided for each door. Sections of the doors 9 and 10 are held in closed position by any suitable fastener, such as 14, each of which comprises a ring portion 15, mounted in an opening 16, around the edged portion of one of the doors, and a hooked portion 17, engaging an eye member 18, secured to one of the walls 7.
The door, as before stated, is preferably provided with an opening, and in the preferred form, this opening is in the form of an off-set, which extends about half way across from the right edge toward the center, and when such door is madeof two sections 9 and 10, each is provided with half of the recess, one in the lower edge of the upper section, and the other in the upper edge of the lower section. These recesses are, in the drawings, designated by the numerals 20 and 21, respectively, applying to the upper recess and the lower recess. The recess provides an opening through which the handle of a cooking utensil 22 may protrude, so as to be operated from the outside of the shield, and likewise provides for visual inspection of the interior of the shield, to an extent, without opening either of the doors. The stove shown in the drawing is designated by the reference figure 23, and the cooking utensil by the reference figure 22, but of course these form no part of the invention, and are merely illustrated for convenience in explanation.
In case a cover is desired to be employed, it may be made in any convenient form, but it has been found in practice that a cover of the construction shown in the drawings is convenient and economical. Resting on the upper edges of the wall 7, is a-cover 24, having a dependent flange, 25, with its lower edge bent back upon itself, as at 26, so as to make it smooth and strengthen it. The top of the door is preferably formed with its edge sufiiciently low to permit the swinging of the door under the flange 25, without disturbing the cover. The cover may be provided with a suitable handle 27 for convenience in handling. At the top edge of each wall 7 there may be provided a fastening member having an eye 28, which may be mounted in the perforation 29, on the top of the wall, and said member may be also provided with a downwardly extending loop portion 30, and an upper hooked end 31. The flange 25, of the cover, will, when.
the latter is put in place extend into the loop portion 30, and the rebent portion 26 of such flange is engaged by the hook end 31. The cover 24 is preferably made of such a size as to cause the flange to press snugly against the hook ends 31, so that the flange 25 and the hook ends must be flexed slightly to permit the flange to be disengaged from the fastening members. It will be seen that the cover is readily put in place and held securely in position. Under ordinary atmospheric conditions, this shield is sufficiently rigid to stand alone without outsidesupport, but in the case of a strong wind or other atmospheric disturbance, it is preferable to stake the shield in some suitable manner, so asv to secure its stability, and in the drawings there is shown a convenient construction for the purpose. The short chain 32 may be provided with a ring at each end, and be of such a length as conveniently to reach from near the top of the shield to the ground at a short distance from the shield, and. at its upper end, the
ring may he slipped into the loop 30, below dicated in Fig. 2, of 'the drawing, and
placed inside the flange 25, on the cover 24, and thus the whole device is in compact form for storage or transportation.
It is obvious that: many variations in'the construction will occur to anyone skilled in the art, without departing from the principle of the invention, and I therefore do not wish to be understood as confining my self to the exact details shown, but
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A stove shield comprising a plurality of walls hinged together at their vertical edges and arranged to be folded relative to one another into position to form a substantially rectangular closure. one of said walls being divided horizontally to form upper their vertical edges,
and lower door sections having a horizontally extending elongated opening therebetween through which the handle of a cooking utensil may extend and along which it may be moved to shake the contents of the utensil within the closur 2. In a stove shield, the combination of a plurality of walls, a cover resting on said walls and having a depending flange to inclose the upper edges of said walls, and guys each connected at its upper end with the top edge of one of the walls and to a portion of said flange; whereby said guys not only brace the structure but serve to hold the top in place.
3. In combination in a stove shield, a plurality of walls hinged together, a cover resting on said walls and having a depending flange disposed to embrace the upper edges of said walls and hold them in position, and having the lower edge of said flange rebent upon itself; hook members secured to the upper edges of the walls and engaging the rebent portion of the flange; and guys connected to the hook members between the wall and the flange, whereby said guys not only brace the structure but hold the said cover down upon the said walls.
4. The combination in a stove shield, of a plurality of hinged walls, a cover resting on said walls and having a depending flange for including the upper edges of said walls and holding them in place, a guy having connections to secure the cover and wall in place when erected, and a device for fastening such guy to the ground; whereby said guy braces the structure as a whole and also holds the cover and walls in fixed relation.
5. The combination in a stove shield, of a plurality of sides hinged to each other at a cover havinga depending flange embracing three of said sides and thereby holding them in position, and one side having a lesser height to adapt it to swing to open position, while the other sides are held in 6. The combination in a stove shield, of a plurality of walls hinged to each other and having a horizontal erect position by the each of which is an elongated registering recess in an adjacent edge extending horizontally partially across said section and thus creating an opening for the handle of the cooking utensil and room for manipulating the same.
7. A stove shield comprising walls hinged together at their vertical edges for movement relative to one another through an angle of substantially three hundred and sixty degress, and a cover for embracing the top edges of said walls to lock the latter in operative condition.
8. A stove shield comprising walls hinged together at their vertical edges, and adapted to fold on their hinges into compact parallel relation with one another, and also to move into position to form a substantially rectangular closure, a cover with a down-turned flange for fitting over the top edges of said walls to lock them in said last mentioned position, one of said walls having one vertical edge thereof easily detachable from the corresponding edge of the adjacent wall, and having its upper edge free from said cover, whereby said wall may be swung about the other vertical edge thereof to form a door for said closure.
9. A stove shield comprising walls hinged together at their vertical edges, and adapted to fold upon said hinges into compact parallel relation with one another, means for securing said walls in operative position to torm a substantially rectangular closure, one of said walls, when so positioned, being free to swing about the hinge at one of its vertical edges to form a door for said closure, said Wall comprising separate independently movable upper and lower sections, elongated open space therebetween, to permit access to said closure when both sections of said door are closed.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, on this 5th day of September, A.- D. 1914.
